" The neighbourhood of Beverley has for sninq weeks past been annoyed by a, monster : several women hare been assaulted, and when their cries brought men to- their assistance, he escaped their vigilance by leaping over or through the hedges. On Monday last 'as the servant of J. Lockwood, Esq. was walking out, with the children, she was assaulted in a lane, near the town, about four o'clock in the afternoon; he was seen by a person who -immediately • pursued Itim, and, with the assistance oie or two more ‘,...h0 joined in the chase, he was taken, quite naked, , and had his face daubed over with dirt, to prevent -being known.—He proves to be an apprfrntice to a shoemaker Of that town, and is committed tti, take his trial for the offence at the ensuing Sessions. • An elderly Citizen, whose table abounded with game of cVery description In the season, being asked by a dashing genius, who squandered hundreds every year in field sports, how tine d-1 he contrived to be so well supplied, who never fired a shot, an swered very drily, " I send my guinea to market, and that's cis sure as a gun.- iIIERICR. C AItLESTON, AUGUST 27.—The onsequ'ent:es which the embargo May be, produ6tive of, if t.s.ot Shortly taken -off, will, in all probability, be especially by the Southern SeCtion of the Uniisn, when those who were its authors have mingled with' their kindred dust, and are only remembered to be held in execration. There is too much reason to be lieve ithat the.destruetion which it has brought ion the commerce of the country has,. perhaps, for ever, alienated the affections of the . 'inhabitants of the, Northern and Eastern States towards the Governi tnent, and paved the way for an event which will put a periOd to the existence of A Nation, than which none ever had fairer pros'peas. - These gloomy ap prehensions ought not, hoWeVer, to create despair, but rather ought- to rouse the people from the lethargy in which they have too long indulged, and stimulate them to the most noble exertions. The intelligence of the insurrection• against the French in Spain has been received with the greatest joy in the Floridas and Mexico. In the Floridas the French were so apprehensive of falling-viethns to the vengeance of the Spaniards,, that they fled with their etieEts into the territories of the United , States. The British were received with the highest venera tion and affeetion. BOSTON PUBLIC MEETING, Av0..9. Agreeably to notification, a very numerous meet ing was held its Funniel Hall, at ten o'clock, when: Stephen Codman, Esq. was chosen Moderator. The notification was then read, when the Hon. Jonathan Mason, after a number of - very pertinent remarks On the subjett,:otfered the follOvving motion, in' the form of a vote : VOTED, " That it is expedient for the town of . Boston respectfully to t:tition the President of the. United Statei to• suspend the laws laying an embargo, either wholly or in part, according to the power vested in him by the Congress of the United States; and if any doubt should exist, as to' the suf.. ficiency of those powers, that he be requested to call the Congress together as soon as may be; and that a.Committee of eight persons be appointed to prepare and submit to the town-a petition in contormity.!' • • •- • The motion was seconded from. every quarter Of the Hall; and a very spirited and 'eloquent debate ensued—in - which the motion was sustained by the Hon. Mr. Mason, Mr. Daniel Sargent, the Hon. Messrs. Oris and Gore ; and was opposed by Mr. William Jarvis, Benjamin Austin, and George Blahe, Esqrs. The debate was protracted until two o'clock, when the question to adopt the motion of Mr. Ma son, passed by an immense majority ; (not more than twenty or thirty hands . against it.) BOSTON, AUG. - 10.—We are happy in learning, as w do, from various quarters of the United States, that the people are arouzing from their lethargy, and turning their undivided attention to constitutional 'remedies :for the flagrant and almoFt intolerable evil's which have been inflicted on them by the folly, madness, partiality, and wickedness of their public servants in the national administration. • There are points beyond which forbearance becomes treachery and cowardice ; and there are limes when submis sion to accumulating wrongs will deserve as well as entail slavery. Those Americans who had discern ment in 1774 to discover these pOints of time, and who then resisted foreign despotism, have not lost their discriminating 'power; nor have they yet to learn how to 'oppose domestic tyranny. They have 'a constitutional guide ; and they will pursue its di rections faithfully to the end. - STONVE.—The PRINC2 still remains' at this noble .maUsion, and is extremely well in health, and in ek cellent spirits, and appears mOst - bighly delighted with the attention of his noble hosts. His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSsEX is confined to his chamber by an attack of the asthma. ,, , His evenings are employed at the piano -forte, at which Mrs. FREE MANTLE presides, whose brilliant execution on that instrument is unequalled; the Duke occasionally joins in the vocal music. Dunkio, one of the firemen belonging to the Phce nix Insurance Company, who was much burnt at the conflagration at. Covent-garden Theatre, ha s S o lar recovered, under the judicious management of the professional Gentlemen at Middlesex Hospital, as to be able to quit the Hospital, and he is now an out-door patient. He and Mr. Turner, of Leigh- Street, tied-lion-square, are, we believe, the only two of those who sustained injury by the accident at the fire who are now alive. ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SominE.—On Friday a fe male was seen in the act of plunging into, a pond'in Hackney Fields. A Gentleman who was passing instantly hastened to her assistance, and 'after con siderable difficulty brought her to the bank. On her recovery, which was effeeted soon, after she was taken out, she refused to tell her name, or give the least account of her connections. She spoke inco herently, and appeared to labour under mental de fangement. The Gentleman who rescued her en deavoured, by promises. of assistance,, to extort a confession of the circumstances which induced her to attempt suicide, but she remained gloomy and silent. Ttrti unfortunate girl Was conveyed to Shore ditch Workhouse, to be recogbized by her friends. She appeared by her dress to have lately travelled from the country. . Saturday se'nnight a girl of the name of Sophia Weaver, about six or seven years of age, who bad gone into. the fields at Downside, in the parish of Back well, Somersetshire, to pick blackberries - , was ruisseJ by her parents. A diligent search was made after her, by several of the neighbours, till twelve o'clock at night, without effeCt. In the course of search,.they found a deep pit, covered over with brambles and long grass, from which, many years since, lead ore .had been extracted, and to which they 'were led by the barking of a dog belongig to the fatheref the child. The grass, it appeared; had recently been trampled upon ; but the lateness, of the evening deterred those who were in search of her from descending. In the morning, however, they returned, and two men were let down with ropes ; ,when, to their great astonishment, the child was found in one of the lanes leading from the pit, standing upright and free from injury, excepting the little hurt she had received in being scratched with the brambles. The preservation of the child was still more remarkable also, in her having re. tired into the lane, as the men in their descent rolled down several large fragments of the rock, which must otherwise have inevitably dashed her to pieces., She remained 14 hours in the pit. Its depth is upwards of too feet.
